Pure Glory

by Apostle Christiana Robinson

God is all about relationship. This is why he ordained marriage and family. Some are single because they either are afraid to marry or are a eunuch by choice. Some marry but would rather be single. It takes God’s Love to create better relationships. Unforgiveness between two hinders the relationship. True Love goes beyond what the natural eyes see in another person and their faults and weaknesses. True love in a relationship doesn’t change, when the other person is acting a fool. True love doesn’t reject the other person because they told their deepest secrets. True love doesn’t change, when the other person falls into temptation and sins. True love picks them up, brushing the dust off of them and encouraging them to walk it out. True love doesn’t stop calling the other person because they’re mad at you. True love doesn’t expose others for gain. True love forgives. True love remembers the good qualities but doesn’t number the bad. True love is patient, kind and not puffed up. True love admits when he or she is wrong, regardless of social status, or the title they carry. True love is humble, not prideful. True love is respectful to all. True love is truthful to the others and won’t hold back what God is trying to release. True love will not judge another person just because of what he or she sees on the outside. True love will not judge another because of the other person’s character or the way they are acting. True love is not a liar and does not try to “save face.” True love does not pretend or act, but is true about his or her feelings toward another. True love is being real with God and with ourselves.

God, increase your love inside us for relationships. The stronger our relationship with God, the more of his love, he places in us. The more of his love he places in us, the better relationships will become.

by Apostle Christiana Robinson

You know what? Change doesn’t always feel good. We want our circumstances and other people to change. But what about changing ourselves? We see a flaw in someone and pray that their attitude or their character changes. We even try to change them, by offering our own suggestions or even by saying, “The Lord said.” (Sometimes it is him, other times it is our flesh.) When they don’t quickly change, as we desire, we cancel them. Who are we? We are not God! We pray for hours that this or that person would change for the better, but ignore our own flaws. Criticism and pointing out the failures and shortcomings in others, can cause us to miss or ignore our own. This bad habit will destroy, if it is not controlled.

True change starts with our way of thinking and understanding that we are not God and we can’t change people. Instead of criticizing people all the time, because either you’re a perfectionist or you want them to become like you, try loving them into change. When Bionce’ wrote the song “Flaws And All,” she was being prophetic but didn’t know it. When you change into a new pair of clothes, you take off the old ones and put on the new ones.

The key is “You.” When “you” begin to stop trying to change yourself, then God’s grace comes and he gives you merciful grace to change. Pray: “God, instead of me trying to change others, change my viewpoint. Change my perspective of the person or situation. Lord, change my heart.”

Transforming change begins in your heart. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. (Matthew 12:34) You change your thinking, you change your heart, you change your confession, and a birth of new change occurs.

Change and transition surrounds you and what was routine in the past no longer fits or works. It is uncomfortable. God is telling you to leave behind old habits and sins. A higher commitment to follow what he is asking without excuses is required. Do not fret and stew, God will come through for you. Rest and follow his bidding.

It is empty! How many times have you looked at your natural provision and exclaimed that your cupboard, your stash of money, intellect, talents,appearance, and or resources, et cetera, were empty? You think, “How am I going to make it because I do not have this or that? How will I survive because I made this or that mistake in the past?”

God wants you to know that the tomb is empty. All that remained there was the prayer shawl that had wrapped the dead body of Jesus, Son of God. There was no need to make a memorial, at the tomb, because he was not dead. We need to seek the person, the resurrected LORD JESUS, who is our PROVISION. He wants us, to get his VISION. It has nothing to do with the dead things, of which we have made a memorial, such as what we accomplished or did not do in the past. God’s vision and provision are not dependent on how much we have in savings, our education, personality, natural abilities, housing, good or bad looks, luxuries, or what we may or not have.  Nor is his provision dependent upon what disasters we experience, such as earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, inflation, war, death, divorce, poor health, family crisis, or homelessness.

Our focus needs to change, to seek the LIVING ONE, who daily provides all that we need. It is he, who SUSTAINS and REMAINS, with us in our present circumstances. It is he, who walks and talks with us. Do NOT look in the tomb, or make a memorial to live there. Leave the dead things in the past. Remember, to listen to his voice, walk with his presence, and know that in him is all the provision you need to succeed, in LIVING life!

Focus. On what are you keeping your focus? Are you rehearsing the bad things that have happened or what you think might occur? Or are you focusing, on the promise, that Jesus will never leave or forsake you? He will walk you through this time of transition and change. Keep your focus, on Jesus the Overcomer. He holds and sustains you, through all the trials that you are experiencing. Focus on him, as he walks with you, so you can also overcome the enemy. Be known as an overcomer, with a Jesus focus.

Deuteronomy 31:6
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD (Yahweh) your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

by Apostle Christiana Robinson

There are some people in your life, whom God wants you to release. There are some people, in your life, he wants you to keep. Sometimes, the ones you’re trying to hold and fix, God is saying, “Let them go.” Sometimes, the very ones with whom you’re frustrated and wouldn’t mind releasing, are the ones he is saying to hang on and to keep them.

God is increasing the father’s love. God knows that a father’s love must be stronger than any jealousy, insecurity or disappointment. That’s why he puts his love, in the place of your love. A spiritual father’s love should want to push and encourage his sons and daughters, to surpass him. When the sons or daughters do exceed him, there will be no jealousy, insecurity, or envy. The Father’s LOVE supersedes fleshly love. That is why God is increasing His LOVE, in spiritual fathers. For those who didn’t have a father to affirm them, God is releasing his love and grace to affirm. God is giving you supernatural abilities to father those who have never been fathered. God is giving you supernatural ability to father, even though you may not have experienced fathering. In this season, God is doing a supernatural miraculous work, in the spiritual fathers. We celebrate the spiritual fathers today!

John 14:12(b)
“The works that I do, ye shall do and greater works than these shall ye do; because I go unto my Father.”

Yeshua, the Lamb of God, says: “I died in the Springtime for you. My blood washes away your sins and you have new life birthed through me. My blood speaks loudly, redeeming you from the curse of death, and slavery to sin. Trust me, as I lead you into greater true freedom, with me. Follow me, during this season of transition. I love you and will not harm you. I lead you into the Overcoming Life.”

by Apostle Christiana Robinson

Sometimes we think we are over something or someone. Until, one day something triggers those past emotions and you are thinking, of the person or situation, in your mind all over again, as if it never left. Sometimes, the enemy will have you playing the situation over in your mind like a movie. But at times it’s not the devil doing it. There are times when we allow things to play in our minds because we like it. God says “my grace is sufficient”. When we have lust, hurt, unforgiveness, bitterness, rebellion, or just constant annoyance every time we hear his or her voice, ask God to give you the grace to forgive, to love, to forebear and grace for self-control. When your emotions become toxic, because of the flesh (your flesh or someone’s else flesh), ask God to purify your heart and help you walk out the practical things, he gave you to do. God knows the emotions we deal with everyday, how we feel, what we like, and who we dislike. His greater LOVE cleans and heals our damaged, toxic, imbalanced emotions. He puts us back into alignment with him, his LOVE, and his character.

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Move Forward! You can’t afford to linger in the past or dwell on the stress of the present. God is doing a New thing in you and ending some old things in you. What would normally take years, will now take months, what would normally take months, will now take weeks, and what would normally take days will only take moments in My presence. For I am redeeming your days that have been difficult and evil, with my presence.
